Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing of Harold Ramis as Egon Spengler in Ghostbusters and Animated Egon

I don’t feel like I’m very creative. I’ll just say it. I enjoy taking photos and making drawings out of them, but if you ask me to draw something from memory or paint some kind of unique imagery, I’ll struggle and the end result will look like a really bad […]

Darth Vader Colored Pencil and Graphite Portrait

Sometimes it can be pretty hard to decide on an image of a person or character to draw. It’s one thing to see an image and think “I want to try drawing that!” and another to know who or what you want to turn into a drawing, but unsure of […]

Emily Blunt as Rita in “Edge of Tomorrow”

After seeing “Edge of Tomorrow,” I was inspired to draw Miss Emily Blunt. I actually attempted reproducing an image from a movie poster she’s on for the movie but I couldn’t quite get her profile just right. So, a few months later, I tried to tackle a movie still. It […]

Zachary Levi and Yvonne Strahovski as Chuck and Sarah from TV’s “Chuck”

After getting addicted to the TV show “Chuck” this year and binge-watching all 5 seasons on NetFlix, I knew I wanted to draw Chuck, and not just Chuck, but Chuck with Sarah. It’s always a challenge to freehand draw two people in one image and get proportions right, but I’m […]

Zoe Saldana as Gamora in “Guardians of the Galaxy” Colored Pencil and Graphite Drawing

Following Star-Lord and Rocket & Groot, I got a few requests for Gamora and decided to oblige. This is about half and half graphite and colored pencil. Etsy link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/209240844/drawing-print-of-zoe-saldana-as-gamora

Godzilla 2014 Colored Pencil and Graphite Drawing

My dad’s a huge Godzilla fan. I decided to do this piece in secret for his birthday this year and found the scales to be especially challenging. I then decided to dare to change it a bit by adding in a parajumper and helicopter from other promotional imagery and then […]

Colored Pencil of Emmet in The LEGO Movie

Scrat Colored Pencil Drawing

When going through some old papers, I found an unfinished drawing of Scrat from the first Ice Age film (so you know it’s OLD!). I decided, while on this colored pencil kick, to finish it. Above is the finished, below is the state I originally rediscovered it in. Etsy link […]

Yoda Colored Pencil Drawing

Continuing to practice more with colored pencil, I decided to work on Yoda from my second favorite film of all time, The Empire Strikes Back. This one was certainly a challenge, but a rewarding experience regardless. I used all Prismacolor colored pencils and a little graphite to get in some […]

It’s time for me to part with some more of my original works. I store them in my portfolios and I realize they’re just being “wasted” hidden in between pages of other hidden works — when people can be enjoying them on their walls or wherever. The pricing depends on […]

Colored Pencil Drawing of Harrison Ford as Han Solo

Truth be told, colored pencil is outside my comfort zone. However, I see other artists do INCREDIBLE things with it all the time, and it makes me want to push myself to get better at it. I decided I want to try my hand at more colored pencil work and […]

Drawing of Plumb

Since 1997, I’ve been an avid listener and fan of Plumb and her music (in other words, since “Plumb” was a band, not just Tiffany’s performing alias). As a follow-up to Yvonne as a proverbial artistic reset button, I decided to try my hand at this portrait of Plumb. (Print […]

Pencil Drawing of Yvonne Strahovski (“Chuck” / “24: Live Another Day”)

Doing just straight-up pencil drawings is kind of a palette cleanser for me. So after (or sometimes during) working on something that detail and/or color intensive, I’ll just start a drawing like this one for fun and further practice. After getting totally addicted to the show “Chuck” via NetFlix, I […]

Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing of Rocket and Groot from “Guardians of the Galaxy”

After drawing Chris Pratt as Star Lord –and heeding requests from some folks– I decided to attack a Rocket and Groot drawing. I approached it with mostly graphite pencil and then added in colored pencil for some of Rocket’s fur, the sight on his gun and Groot’s moss. Etsy link […]

I wasn’t sure what to make of Guardians of the Galaxy upon seeing the first trailers, but I knew I should give it a shot. Before seeing the movie, I caught up on seasons 2 thru 6 of Parks and Recreation, so I was ready to see Chris Pratt take […]

Pencil / Prismacolor Hybrid of Jack Bauer and Chloe O’Brian from “24: Live Another Day”

After having binge-watched 8 seasons of 24 to catch up to the new season and watch half of it as it aired, I was bit pretty hard by the “24” bug. A friend suggested I draw the promo art for “Live Another Day” and I immediately pictured it as graphite […]

Pencil Portrait of Rick Moranis as Louis Tully / Vinz Clortho in “Ghostbusters”

Deciding to go for another Ghostbusters piece, I realized I’ve never drawn Louis! And I thought this portrait summed him up pretty nicely. The colander was pretty challenging with all the detail and various colors, but I was mostly happy with the end result.

Pencil Portrait of Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver in “Ghostbusters”

Exhibit A. (See previous post about Audrey Hepburn) This was a challenge for sure. I really enjoy doing Ghostbusters themed pieces and I was surprised, while looking for inspiring images online, to have never seen the source photo for this drawing before. I found it especially challenging–since I draw entirely […]

Pencil Drawing of Audrey Hepburn in “Charade”

I’ll let you in on a little secret: I’m seldom happy with the end results of my drawings. We’ve come to hang a few of my works around the house to decorate the walls a bit, and our living room has been classic film actors for several years now. Older […]

Colored Pencil, Graphite Pencil Drawing of Optimus Prime from “Transformers: Age of Extinction”

After Roger & Eddie, I decided to attempt something I felt very uncomfortable with. I grew up with Transformers and I love Optimus Prime, but the detail in Michael Bay’s take on Transformers is just… overwhelming! So I decided to step out of my comfort zone and attempt an Optimus […]

Pencil and Colored Pencil Drawing of Jim Carrey holding a rose

When I was pretty young, my grandfather introduced some great classic movies and actors to me. My parents did as well, but I have vivid memories of my grandfather frequently quoting and talking about Eddie Cantor. Eddie was huge in the 30s for his films AND musical career, being one […]
